There's no need to come up with magical place names for an LRT. Just use the street names, or if you're obsessed with supposed duplication, use the full intersection like plenty of other systems do.

I've grown up in Mississauga and I really dislike the stop names on this map. I know Metrolinx came up with terrible names for the Eglinton Line, but that doesn't mean they have to ruin Hurontario too. e.g. Gardiners Corners? Seriously? WTF? lol Thornwood? I've grown up in Mississauga, almost...

I get that Union might be difficult to accommodate without tunnelling or elevation or whatever. But if it were up to me, I'd still use Union, and I'd even be okay with using Union with no dedicated platforms while they do the work needed to Union to build something better. I see no reason to...

I feel like the people taking TTC and other local agencies were working jobs that already required being at a physical location (think warehouses in Brampton and Mississauga). They never didn't have to go in. On the other hand, GO handles commuters who typically work office jobs which were made...

I'd be OK with the loop if you didn't have to go through it, i.e. you could go up or down Hurontario without going through the loop.

Speaking of Simpsons. They've taken down the Hudson's Bay plaques, and now you can see that there was a Simpsons signs behind it.

I remember McPizzas, and I loved that second-floor McDonald's. I'm iffy on if I actually remember Simpsons or not. I feel like I do remember commercials for co-branded Simpsons & The Bay Days though. Later of course it became simply Bay Days.

In case anyone else wants to hear that part of the city council meeting, the talk about the call to Mayor Parrish about giving up Malton and the airport came up starting around 1:49:10. I do think this idea to force Mississauga to give up Malton and the airport is ludicrous, and it's insane that...

Older buildings tend to have high maintenance fees.

Yeah I noticed Edenshaw have done this at Alba as well...

Personally glad they're demolishing this eyesore. Glad they're able to and it's not being saved for being "heritage" like the Union train shed.

I'm just quoting the 2 posts so I can compare them more easily. But for the podium itself, I find it hard to see much difference to be honest. At least along Yonge Street. Edit: Not sure why the pictures in the second post just show up as attachments instead of being in the post itself.

The crazy thing is that we DID have a thaw right before all of this crazy weather started happening. Almost all of the snow had melted. And then the snow came again. And again. And again. But yes, a highly unusual / snowy winter.

I'm guessing the bridge over Little Etobicoke Creek would be from Queensway.

That wooden pole is really awful and distractingly out of place. Even more so now.
